DL_Excurv

DL_Excurv is a new version of the Excurv98 program, for structural analysis of EXAFS spectra.

A new release of DL_EXCURV v1.0 is now available for Windows and Linux.

The old EXCURV98 package has been re-written in modular Fortran90. System dependencies have been removed and the new code, DL_EXCURV, will run on platforms ranging from Windows PC systems through to Unix workstations. In addition, the code has been interfaced to the Daresbury Laboratory Visualize package DLV that provides a powerful environment for the visualisation and manipulation of EXAFS data. The DLV package also provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to the DL_EXCURV program. 

The current version of the DLV GUI supports both single scattering and full multiple scattering analysis of EXAFS data. Within the single scattering mode the package reports the radius of shells of atoms surrounding the emitter, the Debye-Waller factors, and the occupation numbers of the shells. In multiple scattering mode a full three dimensional structural determination is performed. DL_EXCURV v1.0  is available for Linux-PC (SuSE 8), SGI Irix 6.5, Sun Solaris 8, and Windows-PC and, together with the DLV package, provides the following functionality:

  • calculation and visualization of the EXAFS spectra
  • single scattering and multiple scattering analysis
  • identification of the structural parameters of atoms and molecules
  • saving displayed structures as images (jpg, eps, tiff)
  • support for 2D and 3D datasets

Future versions will also provide self-consistent potential/phase shifts calculations.
